Series Thread: Western Conference Finals: OKC Thunder VS Golden State Warriors

[Hornsstampede2.0]

I still think GS wins relatively easily in the series.

But, they needed another wakeup call like this one it seems.

I thought they got their scare already with Portland playing them tough and they would be locked in the rest of the way.

They treated OKC like they were just another team that was going to quit.

He looked like the fucking road runner out there.

Warriors didn't deserve to win tonight though. They completely shut down upstairs and just started hucking up shots at the end instead of running their offense. Pathetic.

You watch basketball? Oh shit lol

I watch it a lot more when the Suns don't suck

Thunder missed like 7 straight down the stretch themselves and still won.

I said Durant and Westbrook can win 2 games alone....The question was whether the role players can help them win 2 more games.

Tonight the role players won this game for them. 16 and 12 for Adams. 11 and 11 for Ibaka. 8 and 6 for Kanter. 10 for Waiter

 

[Krispy Treat]

Still not a fan of their style, but OKC is game. This might go 7.

Issue for the Dubs tonight is they barely got any help from their role players. Steph, Klay, and Draymond did their job. The rest of the roster excluding Barnes let those guys down

It has been awhile, unfortunately

You're crazy bro

You will see. 2-2 going to game 5. Win the next 2

 

[bksballer89]

14 4th quarter points for the Warriors. Really can't blame the refs

 

[cwalke3408]

Agree. If it goes 6 it means OKC is heading to the finals

Idk. This is probably a good example of ppl overreacting to one game. GS got cute, lot of careless TOs and bad shot selection cost them. Credit to Thunder with good defense and Westbrook taking over the 2nd half but I think Warriors take this in 6.

They don't need to win in Golden State now, it is already a must win category for game two for the Warriors.

Going to be extremely difficult to win 2 in Oklahoma. The Thunder match up well with them. As the TNT guys said, they actually outplayed them in 2 of the 3 games in the regular season. Just collapsed in the 4th quarter.

Don't forget being careless with the ball. I'm not going to take credit away from the Thunder though. They went into Oakland and stole a game while being down 13 at the half. Most teams would fold and look forward to game 2. Thunder showed grit. Only reason I'm pulling for the Dubs is I just don't trust them against Lebron. If they end up beating the Dubs, I'll have no choice but to pull for them.

You cannot over-react too much to this one at all

Golden State played like complete and utter crap with almost arrogant dis-interest and disrespect

And they still were in a one possession game with 30 seconds

You seem upset.

I think it comes back 2-2 going to game 5, but to the other point, Barkley just basically said what most of us had been saying along, only we related it to Cleveland. You have no chance at beating GS by playing THEIR game. The only chance is to try and stay big

OKC did not play great either. Are you really expecting another 30% shooting night from KD and 5 turnovers?

I agree that it comes back 2-2. I think after that the home teams hold serve and the warriors win in 7
